Toronto's indie-pop star Aiko Tomi is back with another bold track that's sure to grab attention and make people think. After her debut album 'Animals Awake' became a big hit, with the Guardian calling it an inspiration for embracing what makes you different, Tomi takes a more skeptical attitude on her latest single "Some Lights Need To Be Dimmed".
At a time when fame and influence seem brighter than before, Tomi's new song provides a dose of reality. Produced with Andrew Rasmussen in Toronto, the song shows off Tomis vocal talents – she blends a sweet side like Caroline Polochek with Peaches' bold attitude. The music balances pop vibes reminiscent of Charli XCX with experimental edges akin to Grimes. So it has a foot in familiar ground and yet still sounds fresh.
The energy builds in the track through echoing shouts and pulsing synth beats, then it explodes as Tomi vents against the pressure to fit in and how we put too much worth on fame.
